SPI Adapter

Here is updated pics .





I don't have a store as i do not sell anything , i only started this forum to have support for the FCUSB device.

All the SOIC clips work on all FCUSB versions , it all depends on what type of Chip you have , but note in order to use these adapters the chip has to be removed from the board !!

Do you have any tips for removing the chips I tried once its hard to get the legs lifted up

 

[D3m0n]

Lifting chips can be tricky , apply to much heat to them and you could potentially destroy the Chip , Pads , or even the PCB.
Normally i would use a simple heat gun and solder braid , but once again you could do more damage than good .
I find it easier to just solder directly to the legs of the chip whilst in situe.

Yes I also agree that would be the easiest way.

On the 256 you do not have to put pin 10 to ISP point if ISP I jumpered?

 

[D3m0n]

Correct Pin 10 VCC is not used on A256 , as the ISP link is jumpered.

It seems that you have to remove the target chip from the target PCB, soldering wires does not always yield a reliable binary content. I presume the target pulls Chip Select to a certain level, and the FlashCat board cannot toggle that signal. I have yet to experiment with the target PCB that have a SPI connector (some PC motherboards), I think that you need to connect GND to some pin and power to some other pin. To be completed.
See page 13 of the manual.
